Park Slope Style: Larissa & Einstein

We ran into this duo walking out of where we were headed: neighborhood supporter of local writers and musicians, our favorite Café Regular [/blog/food/cafe-regular-seeking-brooklyn-writers-who-want-to-sell-their-books].

Park Slope Style: Jessica Doehle

While I snap photos of actress Jessica Doehle [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3035582/], a woman stops to ask how she achieved her bombshell status hair. Jessica gives a step-by-step tutorial to the thankful stranger, later telling me that it happens a lot. I’m not the least bit surprised.

Park Slope Style: Clarence Nathan

Bright, floral patterns have been all the rage this summer, but it’s not everyday you see men seizing the opportunity to have fun with such an outrageous statement. Clarence Nathan, owner of sneaker mecca Premium Goods [http://premiumgoods.net] (347 Fifth Avenue), is one of them. Having grown up

Park Slope Style: Greg Holden

Spotted on 7th Avenue, Greg Holden instantly drew our attention with a classic buttoned up style brought up-to-date by his bright tattoos. “I got this one just last week!” he said, showing off a ship emblazoned with “Aberdeen.” Born in Scotland and raised in Northern England, the singer/songwriter has
